Namely, you don’t deserve to be paid for working 8 hours if you only worked for 30 minutes over an eight hour period.
I don’t care if you personally agree with that or not, the reality is that businesses believe it.
That means, sooner or later there will be a great rebalancing where people will be required to do significantly more work; probably the work of other developers who will be fired.
It’s fun for home projects; but the somewhat depressing reality is that there is no chance in hell this (sitting around for 7 hours a day reading reddit while Claude codes) will fly in corporate environments; instead, you’re looking at mass layoffs.
So. Enjoy it while you can folks.
In the future you’ll be spending that 8 hours struggling to juggle the context and review 20 different tasks, not playing with your kids.
